Well done to the Cairns City Council staff and the community organisations who organised the celebration events for Australia Day yesterday.
Lots of people attended the Yorkeys Knob breakfast and at Edmonton later in the afternoon and I was able to meet and talk to dozens of people.
There is no doubt about it: 15 March will be a clear choice for the people of this region.
Community members do not want to continue the develop-at-any-cost attitude of the Byrne council. The do not want houses creeping up the hillslopes and they don't want old Queenslanders bulldozed and concrete boxes in their place with airconditioners in every room.
The locals want to be listened to, they want more tropical building designs, they want the environment looked after and they don't want the character and heritage destroyed.
Locals will be heard in a Val Schier council; and respected too.
